I find this mildly infuriating, I only use Windows for work, I even personally purchased Windows 11. Local account and disabled as much as I could. I personally do not like Windows or Windows in general.

Well, now I do an update and they throw this up like I need to walk thru these steps (again). Not even a "Skip"/"Don't remind me again". Windows is not what it used to be and after disabling half the Microsoft stuff I'd expect not to be bothered again. It's really a built in ad more then anything.

It's time to come back to the light. I'm soon making the switch to Linux for good. I was waiting for gaming to become much more accessible... But I was messing up before because I was downloading the wrong drivers.

I've been learning how to use it by keeping my main machine on win10 while my laptop is on pop os. Using that to test my games and learn.

I've been using it long enough that once I get a good break from life, I'll be going thru the steps to switch my gaming PC over.

What I'm probably going to do is reinstall windows 11, complete updates, run de-bloater. Then install Ubuntu along side windows (super easy) and disable Ubuntu Telemetry. Use Ubuntu as primary for just about anything, have a win VM if I can use it or worst case Windows still available if I absolutely need it.

I wanted to try Quebes but my device isn't compatible. Having Win installed, I could use it strictly for gaming too if I wanted.

I wanted to try Quebes but my device isn’t compatible.

Really? AFAIK the only thing special it requires that a normal OS doesn't is virtualization, and any reasonably-modern x86 CPU should support that just fine. What does your hardware lack?

[-] nickiam2@aussie.zone 3 points 1 year ago

Hardware virtualization is often disabled in the bios by default and probably just needs to be enabled. Called something like AMD-VT or INTEL-Vd

AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS w/ Radeon 780M Graphics 3.80 GHz 16.0 GB DDR5 @ 5600 With the GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop GPU

I ensured bios were setup, attempted to install and it didn't even show an error when selecting to install or live test and install. The device just restarted and nothing.

I'm actually going to give it another try, I made a fresh USB for it, it's worth a fair attempt. I know the GPU is gonna probably be unusable, but I was looking at Qubes for 80% of my tasks.

If you're going to reinstall windows, try installing tiny11: https://github.com/ntdevlabs/tiny11builder.

I've heard a lot of good things about it, consider this.

[-] KrisND@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Nice, I'll check it out! I only plan on still having it installed because some exams I take might not work in a VM. Literally the only reason I plan to dual boot.

Good for you. Keep working at it. I'm not sure what usecase you have for your computer, but I am very sure you'll find a solution or alternative to all your problems.
